Re:Robinhood Is Said to Draw on Credit Lines from Banks Amid Tumult

Robinhood's instant access to transferred funds is a margin account feature. So is instantly having access to your funds from selling a position. So just holding one share of GME increases RH's liquidity requirements.
When I asked why the company I work for didn't do the same I was told we couldn't afford to give every warm body a margin account.

I tried to comfort a co-worker who was lamenting a low productivity quarter by explaining on a long enough timescale all human productivity will likely be lost. So 90 days isn't really a big deal. She didn't see the humor in my observation.

It’s seems degrading to be subject to this but at the same time the majority of theft is from employees. I’ve hear about these type of precautions at UPS sorting centers. It’s also why cash register security cameras are pointed at the register not where a robber would be in clear view.
That said I’m almost certain the UPS employees are paid while doing the screening. That’s a benefit of labor unions.

I agree RH isn’t a power tool like other but I know several people who got their feet wet with it and are now considering moving.
Shameless plug for my employer TradeStation. We just launched zero commission Friday[0]. I’d be interested to hear a critique of our web/mobile ui. It’s more trader oriented but I’m not an expert
